The Canolight CL-AST-C8BBN-LV is a board-to-board connector accessory engineered to join two segments of 8mm wide COB LED strip directly, without any intermediate wire. This type of connector is essential when routing LED strips in tight channels or recessed profiles where excess wiring would create clutter or interference with the housing.
COB (Chip-on-Board) LED strips require precise connectors that maintain even contact across the full PCB width. The 8mm PCB-to-PCB design ensures that the electrical pads on both strip ends align perfectly, delivering consistent current flow and preventing voltage drop or flickering that can occur with poorly fitted connections.
This no-wire connector is particularly valued in applications where aesthetics matter as much as performance — such as display case lighting, hospitality environments, cove lighting, and high-end residential installations. The absence of wire leads keeps the connection point visually clean and structurally compact within LED channels or aluminum profiles.
Installation is straightforward: simply insert each end of the COB strip into the connector's PCB slots, ensuring the copper pads make full contact with the internal contacts. No tools, no soldering — just a quick, secure connection. This makes it an ideal solution for both professional electricians and experienced DIY enthusiasts working with Canolight COB strip systems.
When planning a COB strip lighting project, having the right accessories on hand is just as important as choosing the right strip. The CL-AST-C8BBN-LV connector pairs seamlessly with compatible Canolight 8mm COB strips, ensuring your full installation maintains the high-quality, uniform light output that COB technology is known for. Stock these connectors alongside your strip reels for a complete, professional-grade lighting build.
